Looks very nice.
Do you make and test your own steel ?
Gorgeous Ironwood.
Any chance of closer images of the blade ?
Sorry for all the questions, I am interested in your wootz.

I agree with everyone. Stormcrow said it best, that is gorgeous. Love that steel, too. Quite an impressive set of skills to make that.

Beautiful knife.
I see the spacer has an interesting texture... is it stippled like bulino engraving?

Calhoon · Feb 25, 2016

Super impressed.
